Re: Pain Management?? _ Manage your pain before it manages you.

I have this book, and I like it. It was helpful as a starting point. My first

pain management dept psychologist suggested it to me.

I am a newcomer to your group and I have been diagnosed with chronic pain. One

any one read this book? What did you think? Did it help you?

I like the book and I like The Pain Survival Guide by Dennis Turk. Both

books are helpful if you are in the right mental place. They help you learn

how to observe yourself and others, to start tracking what it is you do and

to find ways of helping you achieve more positive outcomes. But it is a

long hard process for many people. Even if we are cool with looking at

ourselves objectively, it can be a daunting process. Some people are just

not ready to do that. For others who are it can be helpful.
